If your TV has a headphone jack you should be able to connect that to the wireless sender.
If the TV only has optical or coax digital audio output then you will need an digital to analog converter to connect the sender. You usually have to turn the audio output on in the TV menu. You may also have to change the audio type to PCM and turn off the TV speakers.

You will need a Digital Optical (Toslink) to Analog Audio (3.5mm or RCA) Converter for this setup to work, since your TV doesn´t provide an analog audio output signal and probably doesn´t work the USB part of the Rocketfish wireless receiver.

With the converter you plug in a toslink optical cable from your TV the converter and from the converter an analog RCA or 3.5mm audio cable to the rocketfish receiver.

This would be such a converter (should be cheaper somewhere else):

I bought the converter box and hooked it up to tv, converter box and rocketfish sender...all I got was static? which is an improvement over getting nothing. I did set the tv audio to pick it up...

 

[helpstar]

Did you plug in the power supply as well for the converter box?
Which converter box did you get?

 

[gogglenana48]

Musoe digital optical coax analog rca audio converter adapter and fibber cable. Everything was plugged in, and on audio selector zi selected the right one I think. I am 70 and this way over my head.

Age is not a problem Young people do have the same problem and have difficulties as well with such things.

Is the power light on of the converter on?

Maybe this can help:

Did you select in the TV´s audio menu -> "audio out/optical"?

The new converter should be connected to the TV by the optical cable. From the converter the RCA cable should be plugged into the rocketfish sender to the "IN" 3.5" port.
The converter and the rocketfish setup should be plugged into the wall plug and power LED is on.
